Sure and what about the stutter on PC? Did they fix it? With a highend PC there is no stutter in Wukong for example?

Normal UE5 stutter is in almost all UE5 games. On consoles as well. Shader stutter is gone in most new games.

Oh, now we’re at the typical "bu bu but what about stutters?!". There are traversal stutters on every system. Thankfully, they tend to be minimal during fights and boss battles.
Of course the 5070 is more powerful than the Pro it cost $500 the GPU alone.
Then why are you acting like they’re equal? "But I gotta get a motherboard+case+etc” and you’re also getting a system that’s far more powerful.

If you wanna brag about the Pro, the 5070 ain’t the GPU you want to pit it against.

The value add of the PS5 pro is greater vs the 5070. The 45% faster rendering doesn't take into account better RT and going from no AI upscaling to PSSR. The difference between the base PS5 to PS5 Pro is greater.
The 5070 also has better RT. The RT units have double intersection test speed, and the SER feature is twice as fast as well. DLSS 4 is also upgraded with a newer model. Then we have the faster and smoother (in frame times) frame generation model, plus the ability for multiple frame generation. Reflex 2, mega geometry, RTX hair, RTX faces, etc… Nvidia releases a whole heap of ML powered technology with this newest generation.

Is the Pro a better speed upgrade over the base PS5 in terms of the 5070 over the 4070? Yes, in both RT and regular compute. Is it a better value upgrade? No, the Pro is a price hike of 75%, the 5070 is a price decrease of 10%. It gets even more lopsided if you compare the card that launched in 2020, the 3070.

The 5000 series is a bit meh when looking at direct gen on gen price/performance upgrades (if you ignore all the ML stuff), but the Pro is even worse.

I´m not braggin about the Pro. You and Boji are the ones in every Pro related thread talking down on the Pro. It´s a complete system for $700. They should have included the disk for that price.
Of course you are getting a more powerful system but it cost more. When a $700 pc is more powerful than the Pro then the Pro is overpriced or expensive.

Bojji, yes. Me, no.

Dude, I bought one day 1, so I don’t know what you’re trying to tell me. I don’t think any of those products are a good value compared to what we got in the past. The Pro is bad, so is the 5070, and the 5090 is disastrous. $2000 for this is a scam.

Also, disagree about the part where the Pro only becomes overpriced when a PC can be built for the same price. Consoles have always had MUCH better value than PC. That’s part of their appeal. An RX-6700-powered system would have cost you ~$900 in 2021. A PS5 DE was just $400. Similar performance at half the price. Twice the price of the Pro gets you a system with a 5070 Ti. Almost twice the performance. See the problem?

I think you're mixing up a bunch of things here. the "ML powered technology" are mostly improvements to software that span gens/cards and apply to both them and PS5 Pro with their software improvements without marketing terms. I'm talking merely in terms of the value difference between base PS5 vs Pro and 4070 vs 5070. On a base PS5 you don't have AI upscaling at all. So a PS5 to PS5 Pro upgrade gets you double the framerate at the same image quality in a lot of games. The RT of base PS5 to PS5 Pro is also significantly improved, x2-3. The 5070 gets you multiframegen and higher RT but the difference between it and 4070 is NOT as significant as base PS5 to PS5 Pro. This is for an entire system too so PS5 Pro price gets you 2TB, Wifi 7, and SoC CPU boost.

This has been the case since DLSS was introduced: slow games OK, fast paced games not so much.




If we're talking about latency, Digital Foundry did a test with RTX5080 on Cyberpunk 2077 and they said the difference is pretty negligible. And the test was made without any optimization update for their RTX5080 nor Cyberpunk 2077.

Looking at these results, it seems to me that the majority of the extra latency still comes from buffering that extra frame, but adding further intermediate frames comes with a relatively minimal increase in latency. That means that the gameplay is still responsive in Cyberpunk and unless you're super-attuned to input lag, you're unlikely to tell the difference with the existing DLSS frame generation solution.


In addition they have Nvidia Reflex (2) too

How are peoples still not understanding that you do not turn on frame gen with 30 fps native? You have the DLSS upscaler and reflex to think about. Upscaler FPS ARE rendered frames. Both combined also reduces latency a LOT compared to native.

Double the framerate at the same image quality? You get close to the same image quality but never quite as good as native, even Final Fantasy 7 and TLOU has issues with temporal stability. You also get a bunch of games where the difference is much lower or even worse vs FSR2. Besides if you compare to the 3070 (which launched at the same time as the PS5) you get a similar jump in RT (just compare Black Myth benchmarks), over 60% faster rendering, 50% extra VRAM, and, of course, MFG vs no frame generation at all. All for a 10% jump in price. The Pro is a impressive upgrade, more so then the 4070 to 5070 of course, but that 75% boost to the price really knocks the price to performance argument down, which is what I was addressing. Naturally it is a bit silly to compare a console vs just the GPU, but I am talking about each products respective upgrade path, not a perfect 1:1 comparison between the two, hence the actual performance of the 5070 vs the Pro is not really even worth bringing up.
 
Outside of the 4x Frame Gen stuff, how is the 5080 looking compared to the 4090 as far as performance goes?
Looks to be in a similar performance tier if Far Cry 6 and A Plague Tale are anything to go by.
I currently expect it to lose quite decisively in real world benchmarks without FG.
No way the generational uplift in efficiency makes up for the ridiculous difference in sheer compute units. Outside of multi-frame-gen I wouldn`t even expect the 5080 to be able to decisively beat the 4080S.

Good! Want to keep my 4090 resale value up lol

I'm sure this has been stated many times, but the value prospect for buying a 5090 is somewhat muted by the fact that it's only useful for games which will support frame generation and DLSS 4. There are still many games which either don't support FG or are even to fully utilise DLSS 3, so this is cutting the number down even further. Compared in regular games without FG, I'll be interested to see how much faster this card will be. The other thing is that because most of the push has been on AI and frame generation, other things where the higher end cards were being used for work such as blender / 3d mark rendering are left out in the cold. This is likely down to reaching a limit in what's possible with raw power on the die, so unless Nvidia actually pays attention to that specific use case in the future, it's going to be very small increments from here out and a purchase might only be warranted one every 3 generations (if that).

Since they have hit this ceiling, maybe their decision to remove SLI was shortsighted. Having the ability to hook up two or three 5080 / 5090's for rendering tasks I feel would be the way forward. No doubt Nvidia or another cloud provider will instead be quick to offer expensive cloud rendering options though.

Yes?

Sure but the same could be said for any AI upscaling including DLSS which also has temporal artifacts. i think you're splitting hairs here. I'm not going to argue about how DLSS framegen introduces the worst artifacts or ghosting for example because it's not really relevant here. The AI upscaling works fine especially in games like TLOU which for some reason you mention.

Fair enough but you were talking about the 4070 and base PS5. It's naturally silly to even compare the base PS5 at launch to a gpu component to begin with since a base PS5 is a loss leader product whereas the 3070/4070 and likely midgen consoles are sold for profit. The 3070 on its own was $500. Just because the base PS5 price was amazing for the time (prior to massive inflation and hikes too) doesn't mean that the value add of the midgen is less by looking at that price delta against a GPU alone. Even then the Pro is mostly giving double the performance for the same image quality with added RT, i think the addition of AI upscaling technology is far more significant in terms of the differences and what you're getting for that price difference. That's not talking about the extra VRAM in Pro (due to the DDR4 OS RAM added), and the other overall software features like framegen vs no framegen that can still even come to Pro due to its significantly better TOPs performance.

So what exactly are you claiming here? The Pro is a good value upgrade despite the 75% price increase? While the 5070 is not despite having a price decrease? Because my standpoint that as upgrades paths for their intended audience (so a PS5 gamer wanting better visual fidelity, and a PC gamer wanting a new GPU), both are rather mediocre in terms of regular price to performance.

No I'm saying somebody who bought a 4070 at $599 launch RRP and then went on to spend $549 on a 5070 at RRP would see a less significant jump in performance than somebody who bought a PS5 system for $499 at launch then a PS5 Pro for $699. The latter has 2 entire systems now too.

The 5070 "4090 performance" claim is mostly marketing horseshit based on enabling multiframegen to get higher fps. It's ridiculous that the 4090 is even prevented from enabling multiframegen. There is no reason for it considering it has higher TOPs performance all round.

Lots of “Rip 4090” comments out there

I think Currently its not possible to get 70-80% performance improvement over previous gen .
without ridiculously increasing Power.
That's why there are using these methods

I'd like to know if the 5070 is even as powerful as a 4080. Everyone bitched about the 40 series but the reality was the 4070 was as good as the 3080 and had 12 gb vram vs the 3070's 8. The next class up 4070 ti could hang with the 3090/ti.

If some of the rumors are true and the 5070 is just a little bit stronger than the 4070 ti, well that's kind of disappointing.

I'm more interested in dlss 4.

I sold my 4090 and have a PS5 Pro, the only way I'd buy a 5090 is if I can get the founders edition, if not I'll just wait until Witcher 4 releases to snag whichever is available.

I'm curious how many fps the 4090 would crank out with the updated frame gen tech. The 70 seems pretty impressive, but it just needs a bit more Vram if you want to run max texture resolution over the next couple of years.

Honestly I’d love it if these silly PC vs Pro posts ceased entirely but folks gotta stop pretending it only happens one way.
I would not care if those « individuals « owned a top of the line pc…but most of the time they don’t fuck em

Best Buy has the 5090-notification page up.
Unfortunately, they reduced the 2 years no interest down to just 1 year. :(

Wait to see what 9070XT offers first. But yeah, I can see bunch of 4000 series cards heading to eBay and other used marketplaces.

A 4070 Super wouldn’t be a bad get at all.
All I really want is an affordable GPU with 12gb VRAM.

I'd absolutely get an Intel Arc B580 in the next couple weeks, but it really doesn't work well on 8th-gen Intel CPUs, and doubly so without ReBAR (I have a Xeon W2135 in a Lenovo P520 which doesn't support ReBAR).

What time is it?
lol.....same bat signal used in PS5 Pro threads for PC warriors? Just change out the C for a S, I guess.

Just take the C and S, put unt between them, and you have a universal descriptor for both camps.
